Summary

After a quick procurement turnaround staff recommended John Orton Excavating for the 6 Mile Spring redevelopment based on spring-development expertise and highest evaluation score (95); council voted to award the RFQ so exploratory and design work can begin.

City staff recommended awarding the RFQ for the 6 Mile Spring redevelopment project to John Orton Excavating because the firm had extensive spring-development experience and scored highest in the evaluation. Dan Jesson explained the procurement is a two-phase GMGC approach: exploratory work to locate reliable water sources followed by design and bid for construction.

"We scored John Orton excavating the highest, at 95," Dan reported, and the principal engineer, Aaron Anderson, and public works director supported the recommendation. A council member moved to award the RFQ to John Orton; the motion was seconded and carried. Council emphasized the need for federal permitting and a truncated environmental review before design and construction could proceed.
